\nAnimation by\tCharles McKimson, Phil DeLara, Rod Scribner, Herman Cohen
\nMusic by\tCarl Stalling<\/p>\n
Robert McKimson\u2019s \u201cNo Parking Hare\u201d is a reworking of Chuck Jones\u2019 1950 \u201cHomeless Hare,\u201d with Bugs Bunny pitted against a burly and surly construction worker trying to evict the rabbit from his subterranean residence so he can complete a major construction project. Jones\u2019 film takes place in a urban setting, with Bugs being removed from a high-rise development site, while McKimson\u2019s film takes place in an open environment where a freeway is being built.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cHomeless Hare\u201d had a surplus number of inventive gags, as well as a genuinely worthwhile adversary who managed to one-up Bugs a couple of times. Unfortunately, the foe in \u201cNo Parking Hare\u201d is a dimwit who is constantly outwitted by Bugs in a series of predictable gags. <\/p>\n
Sid Marcus\u2019 script did include one inspired moment featuring a banjo-strumming Bugs singing the novelty tune \u201cThere Ain\u2019t No Place Like a Hole in the Ground\u201d while the construction worker tries to drop a bomb from a helicopter into Bugs\u2019 underground residence. The timing and sound effects of this brief moment, coupled with Mel Blanc\u2019s engaging vocals to the bouncy song, compensates for the cartoon\u2019s flat patches.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
